Hey Everyone,Mark your calendars! I'm excited and humbled to share with you my upcoming emotional & epic orchestral album, "Epoch Dawn", which will be released on my label, Journey Music Entertainment. Official release date: March 14 (One-track pre-release: February 28)!

It has been a long and challenging project - working long hours in honing down the right sounds, song craft, flow, balance, and orchestration. This has to be the most intricate album I've done to date. From slower emotional to fast epic tracks and everywhere in-between, each one of these 13 songs is specially designed to tell a story of its own.

As of now, "Epoch Dawn" album will only be released digitally - physical CD copies are a possibility down the road.

Will be uploading a sample of the entire album later this month. In the meantime, help yourself to some full-length songs straight from the album (see below):

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I have some wonderful news to share!

A new album is officially in the works! Here's an enchanting orchestral
song I would like to share with you: A song called, "Wonderland", from
my upcoming album, "Epoch Dawn". (Video:

for this release and hopefully, by around October, things will start to
wrap up. Target for this release is December or early 2014.

Around that same time as the release, my website will be updated with an
entirely new layout for easier navigation and interaction. Ideas are
being kicked around as we speak.

Finally, if you are not following me on Facebook and Twitter, please do
so (links are below my signature). You can get more frequent updates
about the album and other projects there. Plus, it makes it easier for
you to contact me about anything.

I know it's been a while since I've made any updates on the upcoming album. So, here it is: The good, the bad, and then the good again.

The good news is that all of the songs are done and finalized and all there is left is recording the live instrument parts. The bad news is that the recording is on hold until the fall/winter. So as far as releasing the instrumental album is concerned, it is pushed off until next year.

However, here is the good news. The next few months, I'll be transforming around 12-15 songs I have already written into full orchestral arrangements - so far, one of the songs will include the finished, "The Incursion" orchestral version. This might very well be another album coming up (different from the instrumental album), but nothing is official yet until I have the songs mostly complete.

I'm also proud to announce that "The Incursion (Epic Orchestral Trance Mix)" track has made it onto "A State Of Trance Radio Top 20" for April/May/June 2013, which will be released on Beatport exclusively on May 31. What a huge honor!

Here is my up and coming uplifting trance release, "The Incursion". Exclusive on Beatport May 15! All other stores May 29! Here's a Preview.

So far, I've had overwhelming number of outstanding to phenomenal
responses from A&R, labels, producers and listeners about this
release! Many thanks to everyone! But we're not done yet ...
... we're also trying to get this played on A State of Trance (ASOT).
If you can take a minute and e-mail "armin@astateoftrance.com" and ask
them to play the track "The Incursion (Epic Orchestral Trance Mix)" that would mean
a lot to not just to me, but to everyone involved. Spread the word,
tell your friends about it!
